Its just on pause now because we are still training all the New Hire Captains from last year that have their 1 year on property and once that pipeline is clear the NB CA bids will start again in November per Crew Resources. With 200 hires a month starting in November the vacancy bids will be fast and furious, especially since the 787s are coming a 2 a month starting in January instead of the 2 planes every 3 months we have now.
Yes, however I think to Turbosinas wider point and certainly something I was trying to get across to LNVVNAV is that the one year upgrade ship has already sailed. That is not to say I wouldn’t encourage him/her to still apply and I hope they are successful. I just think it should be a consideration when doing one’s “worth it” calculations.
